Clearing Your Ancestral Blocks

A workshop teaching you how to heal and balance the subtle but powerful dynamics of the family tree.
Your ancestors, reflected out through your family patterns, are a powerful source of both inspiration and conflict. In the West we have forgotten much of this ‘native’ wisdom, yet the voices of our ancestors are calling to be acknowledged and balanced as energies with us. Ancestral patterns can influence your life in all sorts of subtle ways. Only by integrating and resolving these dynamic energies will you find freedom to be yourself. We will explore simple and effective ways to help you access your family patterns and heal the web of their energies as they move within you. The workshop will also provide the framework that will allow you to help others therapeutically to heal and balance their own ancestral patterns.
“The deeds of an ancestor can create family karma that continues to influence the fate of the family’s descendents until the karma is dissolved.” Dr Hiroshi Motoyama (Shinto priest)

In this workshop you will discover:
  • Draw up your family chart
  • Access the patterns of your family
  • Heal ancestral karmic influences
  • Explore ways to determine ancestral influences
  • Open up channels of support from your ancestors

Spirit Attachment and Spirit Release
with David Furlong
Saturday   Room 1   3.30pm - 5.30pm

Cost £8.00

David has been teaching, healing, and running inner development workshops for nearly 40 years. He was one of the founders of the College of Healing and the first Chairperson of the Natural Health Network. He is the author of four books The Healer Within (Piatkus), Healing Your Family Patterns (Piatkus), Develop Your Intuition and Psychic Powers (Bloomsbury) and The Keys to the Temple (Piatkus).

David has worked for many years with the Ancient Egyptian archetypal energies and regularly leads trips to Egypt to help people link with the country’s great spiritual centres.

Spirit Attachment and Spirit Release

New paradigms in psychic and psychological healing.
A minority of those who die fail to make their transition successfully. They become what is known as ‘earthbound’, because they remain attached to the earth plane and so cannot progress. There are many reasons for this including a traumatic death, concern over some unfinished business or anxiety for a loved one. Attached spirits may manifest in a variety of ways. They may attach to a house or locale with which they were associated in life or they may attach to a living person, causing some level of psychic or psychological disturbance.
In this workshop we will consider the different reasons why spirits become ‘earthbound’ and the methods that can be used to release them. We will also look at why some people are prone to this form of invasion and how they can be helped to balance, protect and integrate their energies so that they are not influenced in the future.
The workshop will cover:
  • Why spirits become earthbound
  • Identifying spirit attachment in people and in places
  • Symptoms of spirit attachment
  • Methods for releasing trapped spirits
  • The need for psychic protection
  • Accessing spiritual guidance


The Power of Visualisation: How to Heal Your Body and Attract What You Want
with David Hamilton
Sunday   Room 1   10.30pm - 12.30pm

Cost £8.00

After completing a Ph.D. in organic chemistry, David worked as a scientist in the pharmaceutical industry for four years. Ironically, it was during his time as a scientist working on drug development that stimulated his interest in the power of the mind. Observing the powerful effects of the placebo time and time again, he recognised the important link between the mind and the body that is often overlooked. He left the company and set out researching the mind-body connection, studying the work of scientists, mystics and healers working in the field.
Hay House have published 2 of his books so far: ‘It’s the Thought that Counts’ and ‘Destiny vs Free Will.’ David currently writes and gives public talks and workshops around the UK and abroad.

The Power of Visualisation.

Every thought causes a microscopic change in the structure of your brain. Repetitive visualisation rewires some brain areas, alters the structure of your cells and even interacts with your genes. Thus, our thoughts produce chemical changes in our bodies. Through visualisation we can cause healing in the body. Many people around the world have used it to heal themselves of simple, and serious illnesses. Based on the research he has collected David will teach you some effective ways to visualise, that people have actually used to heal themselves. Not only can we affect our health through visualisation, but we can attract many of the things that we want in life. Every thought attracts. When we learn how to direct our thoughts towards the things we want, we increase the likelihood that they will manifest in our lives.
There are some ways to visualise for healing and for attracting what you want that are much, much more efficient than others. In this session, David will also teach some very powerful visualisation techniques, including ‘Feeling-isation’, that he uses himself.

Home is a theatre of the soul - a house remembers who we are.
Lindsay will take you on a journey behind the scenes to see your home in a new way, to look into the details as if you were looking more deeply into yourself. We will journey beyond the drama and the pain of life, under the stairs, into the cupboards and behind the pictures on the wall. Like AliceThrough the Looking Glass, we enter deeply beyond the way things appear to be, to find more wonder than was first apparent. Within each home there is an invisible plan ­ it holds the clues that point the way to a life filled with wonder and abundance. This workshop is a key to unlock the Secret of Home.

Images, Intuition, Mind and Meditation
with Lynne Lauren
Sunday   Room 2   1.00pm - 3.00pm

Cost £7.00

Lynne first became aware of her sixth sense at a young age but decided to keep quiet and ignore it as nobody else around her seemed to be aware of theirs. Lynne,then began meditating from the age of 15.
After training and working as an artist and lecturer, in her late 20’s, Lynne set out on a spiritual path. Since then her work has been as a spiritual teacher, clairvoyant and medium for twelve years. She has worked both nationally and internationally, giving readings on TV and continuing with her own spiritual development. Lynne produced the psychically developing and healing CD’s called The Healing Room in 2005. Over the years Lynne has realised the enormous benefits that meditation and simple visualisations can have, both in our daily lives and as a strong catalyst for our spiritual and psychic development. Her book “Simply Meditation” is to be published by Sterling in the late spring 2008.

Images, Intuition, Mind and Meditation

Meditation can help you to focus, de-stress, lift a down mood, heal, let go, improve your intuition, and keep your life in balance. It is also thought to be the only source of permanent calm and tranquility available to us up to this present day. Visualization combined with meditation can have a powerful impact on developing your spiritual and psychic ability plus keeping you focused on your goals.
This workshop covers simple exercises to sweep away the cobwebs, clear blocks and renew motivation by working on mental, emotional and spiritual and also psychic aspects. Most of the meditations can be done anywhere, anytime, and, with practice, in less than a minute. In this workshop you will learn how to calm, heal and lift your emotions, improve your energy and your efficiency. You will learn how to sort out the main areas of your life, including your creativity, spirituality and your sixth sense.

The power of the moon and the natural rhythms
Experience and intuition led our ancestors to the discovery that the success of many activities in daily life is subject to natural rhythms, the phases and position of the moon. This is especially true in the field of health and healing. This workshop will give you a fascinating understanding into how we are influenced by the moon, sun and earth energies. You will learn how to take full advantage of natural cycles so that you feel more in tune. Learn how you can rebalance during each moon phase with Naturopathy and nutrition. You will discover the importance of detoxifying and rebuilding during the new moon and full moon phases. You will gain insight into why the Equinox’s, Solstices, and Eclipses are so important to be aware of and more importantly what you need to do to stay in balance around these changeable times. This workshop shows you:

  • The way to a healthy life worth living, based on timeless knowledge that we have forgotten
  • Healthy nourishment and living in harmony with the cycles
  • The influence of all these aspects on body, mind and spirit
